Film Screening: Mother Nature's Child

Mother Nature’s Child explores nature’s powerful role in
children’s health and development through the experience of toddlers, children in middle childhood and adolescents.

The film marks a moment in time when a living generation can still recall childhoods of free play outdoors; this will not be true for most children growing up today. The effects of “nature deficit disorder” are now being noted across the country in epidemics of child obesity, attention disorders,
and depression. More info at http://www.mothernaturesmovie.com.


Co-sponsored by Green Meadow Waldorf School, the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN) and Warner Library.
